The galaxy/deployment/online-config repo — the central field/site configuration store — maintains per-customer git branches named E21 (Ethiopia), P19 and P19-POC (Pakistan), and XJ (Xinjiang), each tracking dated "现场配置" (field configuration) commits pinned to specific TSG software versions (e.g. TSG 22.02, 21.11), directly corroborating the E21/P19/XJ site codenames already established in taxonomy and confirming ongoing, versioned field deployments as recently as 2023-07 (a "P19 23.07 online-config" branch commit).

Defense implications
- Assume field TSG deployments in Ethiopia/Pakistan/Xinjiang are kept on recent TSG minor versions (evidence of 21.11 to 22.02 to 23.07 upgrades within about 18 months) — do not assume stale or unpatched detection capability at these sites when testing circumvention approaches.
Related findings
Side-by-side internal performance comparison across Xinjiang (China Mobile carrier deployment, hostname cmcc-xj-server1-sapp-244), Fujian (domestic), and Ethiopia (E21) explicitly references the same 'app_sketch_maat' diagnostic log format at all three sites, confirming the identical AppSketch app-fingerprinting stack is used for domestic Xinjiang surveillance and for the exported Ethiopia deployment.
Geedge Networks' 2023 new-hire onboarding deck gives a corporate timeline: TSG's first international market win (with a codename "Nezha" launching the same month) in September 2018, "网络叙事者" (CyberNarrator) launching November 2020, a "South Asia" country project landing August 2021 (overseas market expansion), and Geedge winning a bid as overall solution provider for an "East Africa" country project in May 2022 — timing and regions consistent with this corpus's existing Pakistan (WMS-UTR/P19) and Ethiopia (E21) site attributions, though the deck itself does not name the countries.
Geedge's internal company timeline dates the launch of 网络叙事者 (CyberNarrator) to November 2020, and states the company won a 'South Asian country' project in May 2021 (consistent with Pakistan/WMS-UTR) and, as overall solution provider, an 'East Africa country' project in May 2022 (consistent with Ethiopia/HDM) -- corroborating the export timeline for those two customers from the company's own materials rather than site-side evidence alone.
Internal project codenames decode to specific customers: M22 = Myanmar (operators Mytel, Ooredoo Myanmar, and ATOM; sites YGN=Yangon, MDY=Mandalay), K18 = Kazakhstan (site renamed Nur-Sultan to Astana in OLAP config), E21 = Ethiopia (operator Safaricom Ethiopia; sites ADAMA-PE/SSM-PE to KLT-IGW/SHQ-IGW), WMS-UTR = Pakistan.
This P19 (Pakistan) service is a pure Kafka-triggered file relay: for each Kafka record it deserializes a SysFileSync payload carrying a list of {source_oss_path, destination_oss_path} pairs alongside common_log_id, common_recv_time, common_schema_type, and processing_time -- fields matching the shared session/event-log schema used elsewhere in the MESA platform -- then HTTP-GETs each file from its source path and HTTP-POSTs it to its destination path. Distinct hosError/ossError/fileSyncError counters for the two legs (source read vs. destination write) show the two endpoints are operated as separate storage systems, one referred to in logs as "Hos" and the other as "Oss". Net effect: file objects tied to individually logged monitored sessions at the Pakistan site are relayed between storage tiers as a matter of routine pipeline operation, not just session metadata.
The repo galaxy/tsg_olap/p19-file-sync-service.bundle is a dedicated, site-scoped microservice explicitly namespaced for P19 -- this corpus's Pakistan deployment codename (site_codenames: "WMS-UTR / P19: Pakistan"). Its Docker image is built under the tsg/galaxy Harbor namespace (192.168.40.153:9080/tsg/galaxy/p19-file-sync-service), and its container WORKDIR/MAINTAINER are both "galaxy", directly confirming that Galaxy (the OLAP/big-data layer documented elsewhere in this taxonomy) ships individually-built, per-customer-site production services out of its tsg_olap subtree rather than only shared library code. The pom.xml calendar version (23.09.26) pins this specific build to Sept 26, 2023.
